Replacing IPhone 3GS screen-help

dinneenp

Hi,
I've replaced my IPhone 3GS screen.
The problem I'm having is at the very end when I'm attaching the last cable/wire. It's meant to 'click' into place but for me it doesn't seem to.

it's not powering on for me now. I presume above is the issue but maybe not.
Anyone able to suggest or help?

In parallel I'm going to check for 'the guy' in Galway who can unlock Iphones, he should be able to help.
Cheers,
Pa.

Chech to make sure that its not even slightly skewed, and dont be afraid to apply a little more pressure. You'll get it, you've done the other two, the third is easy

Sounds like your fitting a 3G screen to a 3GS phone or visa versa.

i had the same dilemma doing mine. but as dodzy said. make sure its straight ans dont be afraid to apply a little pressure. should click in fine

As CathalDublin said it seems your trying to put a 3g digitizer on a 3gs or vice versa, theres a slight difference in the connection, it should click into place without too much pressure, putting too much pressure on it may damage it.
I'd recommend buy the 3gs digitizer and before you replace it check will the connections click.

no, the third cable is an lcd cable, the second one is the digitizer.
